Ryan Sieg claims first career win at Winn-Dixie 250 in Daytona

Ryan Sieg secured his first career NASCAR victory during the Winn-Dixie 250 at Daytona International Speedway in August 2026. While Austin Hill captured the Stage 1 victory and Rajah Caruth won Stage 2, neither driver maintained their lead to reach victory lane. The broadcast on The CW drew an average of 850,000 viewers for the event. This performance placed the race as the second-highest sports program on the network for the week, trailing only Saturday night's college football coverage. Overall viewership for the Friday night broadcast fell short of industry expectations. The event served as the 24th race of the 2026 season.
